Kansas sophomore forward Silvio De Sousa must sit out the remainder of this season and the entire 2019-20 season because of his guardian’s involvement with an agent, the NCAA ruled Friday.
The NCAA ruling issued Friday dictated that, "According to the guidelines adopted by the NCAA Division I membership, when a prospective student-athlete allows a third party to involve himself in the recruitment process, the prospective student-athlete is then responsible for the actions of that person, regardless of whether the prospective student-athlete had knowledge or if benefits were received."
It continued: "Membership guidelines state the starting point for these violations is permanent ineligibility, but the NCAA staff recognized mitigation based on the specific circumstances of this case when making its decision.
